Why do they keep asking Pres Biden why repubs didn't vote for the bill?

[Wounded Bear]

Ask the fucking repubs why they didn't support a bill that 70% of the public wanted and needed.

1. I know right?

2. Exactly!

Support for Covid relief was only close in Congress, not among Americans.

[PatSeg]

9. And it was a good question to ask

as it puts the focus on the fact that not one single republican voted for it. Best to hear it said out loud, even though of course, Biden cannot speak for the republicans.

Now, if reporters would start asking republicans why they didn't support this very popular bill. Maybe ask them every day for weeks, hold them accountable.

3. x1000, Wounded Bear

Nothing more to say. Except . . . infuriating.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Indeed! nt

[House of Roberts]

5. Who are 'they' who are doing the asking?

[Wounded Bear]

6. The press, after Pres Biden announced the Senate passed the bill...nt

8. Trying to make "news" just to have shit to say

10. Pres Biden is too classy and too smart to throw out attacks against his opponents...

he's kind of always been that way.

[superpatriotman]

11. It's a fair question

I'd like to know why, too.

Why can we not wrangle a single vote? Are things that bad, and if so what are our plans to assure that their side - who have forfeited, it seems, their abilty to govern - never be in power again?

[Wounded Bear]

12. Meh, the only answer is "they didn't want to support it." nt

[fishwax]

13. to reinforce the simple fact that republicans tried to prevent such a popular and helpful bill

but democrats got it done in spite of them.

[abqtommy]

14. Don't tell me there are still people here in the U.S. who don't realize that our press is

corrupt and the enemy of Democracy...

15. As he walked out there was a question about being frustration

Couldn’t hear it. Loser caption just had President Biden saying “Frustration?” he said no (FU really) and that Bernie said this was the most progressive bill he’s seen.

16. If you thought Republicans have avoided CNN/MSNBC?CBS?ABC in the past......

I guarantee you they will be more scare going forward. Fact is, they can only appear on Republican Propaganda networks where that question will never be asked. Instead, they will use plays from their rat f'ng playbook by finding a few isolated issues with in the funding/distribution in an attempt to discredit the entire legislation. Take it to the bank.

17. I wasn't able to watch,

but if Biden took the chance to answer "because they're selfish pricks who don't give a shit what the public wants and needs, isn't that obvious to you yet?" then I'm glad the question was asked.

I really hope he said that, although I'm sure he wouldn't be so rude about it.

[JI7]

18. They are being "fair and balanced"

[dickthegrouch]

19. Because the republicans have taken being in opposition to heart.

They’re too stupid to understand that opposition for opposition’s sake isn’t always a good thing.
Knee jerk opposition is often detrimental to one’s own well being.
Control the narrative.
